Meet Connie Jacobson
Natrona County Coroner

Since Connie was a young nurse in the 1980s she knew her career path would eventually lead her into the Medical Examiner/Coroner Office. Forensic Death Investigation training throughout Canada and the US positioned her to serve an internship under former Natrona County Coroner, Dr. James Thorpen which eventually led to her being elected in 2010.

Read more about Connie and the role of the Coroner's office in Natrona County.

The Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) is a collaborative, county-led process intended to result in one, multi-county legislative lands package that is broadly supported by public lands stakeholders in Wyoming, and advanced to the Congressional delegation for introduction in Congress. The ultimate goal is a new federal law that governs the designation and management of Wyoming’s 42 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and 3 U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in Wyoming; and, where opportunities exist, addresses other public land management issues affecting the broader landscape.

Be sure to visit the WPLI Hub for more information and an interactive map.

As the weather begins to get cooler and thoughts of snow start in everyone’s mind, not everyone dreads the white stuff. Casper Mountain offers a great opportunity to get out skiing, snow shoeing and even biking on groomed trails. Before you go, check out the conditions by viewing the new webcams that are located at the Trials Lodge. You'll find current weather, weather history and the forecast so that you can better plan for your outing. But just don't view in the winter months. Watch the changing seasons year round. The system was upgraded this summer to provide a clearer view and more information. Visit the Casper Mountain Trails Center Weather Station or click on the webcam link from the County's home page.

On average, it takes around 4 feet of snow before the trails are ready for grooming. That much snow is needed before the groomer can safely traverse the trails by effectively covering stumps, rocks and other obstacles. The County will post trail updates as conditions change but you can also use the new cameras to keep tabs on snow conditions. Once enough snow has fallen and the County has groomed the trails, you will be ready to hit the trails and try out those new skis or snowshoes. Now all that is required is a ski pass. Anyone using the groomed Nordic trails on Casper Mountain is required to have a Nordic Trails Pass. Proceeds from the sales go to cover grooming costs.
